Abstract
This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for monitoring and controlling a UNI/NNI Multilink Frame Relay Function as defined in Frame Relay Forum FRF.16. This MIB also includes conformance and notification information.
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in STD 16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC 1215 [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described in STD 58: RFC 2578 [RFC2578], RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901] and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906], RFC 2572 [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].

RFC 3020 MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR December 2000
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905 [RFC1905].
o A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [RFC2573] and the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575 [RFC2575].
A more detailed introduction to the current SNMP Management Framework can be found in RFC 2570 [RFC2570].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.
This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2. A MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate translations. The resulting translated MIB must be semantically equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no translation is possible (use of Counter64). Some machine readable information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in SMIv1 during the translation process. However, this loss of machine readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the MIB.
This document defines a Management Information Base (MIB) for monitoring and controlling the UNI/NNI Multilink Frame Relay function. The agreement on which this MIB is based was defined and documented by the Frame Relay Forum in the Frame Relay Forum Document FRF.16 [FRF.16].
Multilink Frame Relay (MFR) for the User-to-Network Interface (UNI) and the Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) provides physical interface emulation for frame relay devices. The emulated physical interface consists of one or more physical links, called "bundle links", aggregated together into a single "bundle" of bandwidth. This service provides a frame-based inverse multiplexing function, sometimes referred to as an "IMUX".
Pate, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3020 MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR December 2000
The bundle provides the same order-preserving service as a physical layer for frames sent on a data link connection. In addition, the bundle provides support for all Frame Relay services based on UNI and NNI standards.
Physical Link -- A single physical interface that interconnects two devices in a frame relay network (e.g., DS1, DS0, Bearer channel, refer to FRF.14).
Bundle -- A grouping of one or more physical links using the formats and procedures of multilink frame relay. The bundle operates as a logical interface function that emulates a single physical interface to the Q.922 data link layer.
Bundle Link -- A MFR sub-component that controls operation of one of the bundle's physical links.
This scalar is used to assist the manager in selecting a value for mfrBundleIndex during row creation. It can also be used to avoid race conditions with multiple managers trying to create rows in the table (see RFC 2494 [RFC2494] for one such algorithm).
Each bundle link will appear as an interface in the ifTable. The ifIndex that appears in the ifTable is used for indexing the bundle link tables in the UNI-NNI MFR MIB.
Each bundle will appear as an interface in the ifTable. There will be corresponding mfrBundleIndex which may be different than the ifIndex of the bundle.
The reason is best summarized in RFC 2494 [RFC2494], which describes frame relay bundle of DS0. It says:
This table is not indexed by ifIndex because the manager has to choose the index in a createable row and the agent must be allowed to select ifIndex values.
The rows in the ifEntry table are not createable as they do not have row status. RFC 2863 [RFC2863] suggests that the ifIndex should be chosen by the agent. Here is its statement regarding row creation and deletion:
While some interfaces, for example, most physical interfaces, cannot be created via network management, other interfaces such as logical interfaces sometimes can be. The ifTable contains only generic information about an interface. Almost all 'create-able' interfaces have other, media-specific, information through which
Pate, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 3020 MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR December 2000
configuration parameters may be supplied prior to creating such an interface. Thus, the ifTable does not itself support the creation or deletion of an interface (specifically, it has no RowStatus column). Rather, if a particular interface type supports the dynamic creation and/or deletion of an interface of that type, then that media-specific MIB should include an appropriate RowStatus object (see the ATM LAN-Emulation Client MIB [ATMLANE] for an example of a MIB which does this). Typically, when such a RowStatus object is created/deleted, then the conceptual row in the ifTable appears/disappears as a by-product, and an ifIndex value (chosen by the agent) is stored in an appropriate object in the media-specific MIB.
The ATM LAN-Emulation Client MIB [ATMLANE] uses different indices and so does the IMA MIB [ATMIMA]. Looking at the examples we have, and the statements from RFC, it seems better to have two indices. This gives the SNMP agent implementor the freedom to manage their ifIndex in the way they like.
2.3.1.3. Mapping Between ifIndex and mfrBundleIndex
The mfrBundleIfIndexMappingTable is indexed by ifIndex and provides the means to map a given ifIndex into the corresponding mfrBundleIndex. The mfrBundleIfIndexMapping object in the mfrBundleTable (indexed by mfrBundleIndex) provides the reverse mapping of a mfrBundleIndex to the corresponding ifIndex in the ifTable.
The bundle configuration and status table. There is a one-to-one correspondence between a bundle and an interface represented in the ifTable.
The following objects of the ifTable have specific meaning for an MFR bundle:
ifAdminStatus - the bundle admin status ifOperStatus - the bundle operational status ifSpeed - the current bandwidth of the bundle ifInUcastPkts - the number of frames received on the bundle ifOutUcastPkts - the number of frames transmitted on the bundle ifInErrors - frame (not fragment) errors ifOutErrors - frame (not fragment) errors
The following objects of the ifTable have specific meaning for an MFR bundle link:
Pate, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 3020 MIB for FRF.16 UNI/NNI MFR December 2000
ifAdminStatus - the bundle link admin status ifOperStatus - the bundle link operational status ifSpeed - the bandwidth of the bundle link interface ifInUcastPkts - the number of frames received on the bundle link ifOutUcastPkts - the number of frames transmitted on the bundle link ifInErrors - frame and fragment errors ifOutErrors - frame and fragment errors
The bundles and bundle links will appear in the ifStackTable defined in RFC 2863 [RFC2863]. Each bundle link will appear a lower layer to its owner bundle. The bundle will appear as a higher layer to the bundle links and as a lower layer to a frame relay service or UNI.
Figure two shows an example of how the various tables are related. This example shows two bundles composed of 2 T1s each. The bundles have a mfrBundleIndex of 10 and 20 respectively.
A new bundle is created by setting a createAndGo(4) value in the mfrBundleRowStatus RowStatus object. Optionally, an agent could also support setting a value of createAndWait(5) followed by a set to the value active(1).
When a bundle is created, the agent must create a new interface in the ifTable. The ifIndex for this new interface is used for the value of mfrBundleIfIndex.
A new bundle link is created by setting a createAndGo(4) value in the mfrBundleLinkRowStatus RowStatus object.
The bundle link is associated with a specific physical interface and uses the ifIndex of the physical interface. The mfrBundleLinkEntry row objects may be created after or during creation of the physical interface's ifEntry row objects.
The bundle identified in the object mfrBundleIndex must exist at time of bundle link creation.
This trap is sent when the ifOperStatus of a bundle transitions from down to up. This occurs when a sufficient number of links (determined by mfrBundleActivationClass and mfrBundleThreshold) are in the operationally up state.
This trap is sent when the ifOperStatus of a bundle transitions from up to down. This occurs when a insufficient number of links (determined by mfrBundleActivationClass and mfrBundleThreshold) are in the operationally up state.
This trap indicates that a bundle link mismatch has been detected. The following objects are reported:
- mfrBundleNearEndName: configured name of near end bundle - mfrBundleFarEndName: previously reported name of far end bundle - mfrBundleLinkNearEndName: configured name of near end bundle - mfrBundleLinkFarEndName: reported name of far end bundle - mfrBundleLinkFarEndBundleName: currently reported name of far end bundle
Note that the configured items may have been configured automatically. Note also that the mfrBundleLinkMismatch counter is incremented when the trap is sent.
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defined in the SMI. In particular, each object type is named by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to refer to the object type.

[Q.922] ITU-T, Recommendation Q.922: "ISDN Data Link Layer Specification For Frame Mode Bearer Services"
There are a number of management objects defined in this MIB that have a MAX-ACCESS clause of read-write and/or read-create. Such objects may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. The support for SET operations in a non-secure environment without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.
No managed objects in this MIB contain sensitive information.
SNMPv1 by itself is not a secure environment. Even if the network itself is secure (for example by using IPSec), even then, there is no control as to who on the secure network is allowed to access and GET/SET (read/change/create/delete) the objects in this MIB.
It is recommended that the implementers consider the security features as provided by the SNMPv3 framework. Specifically, the use of the User-based Security Model RFC 2574 [RFC2574] and the View- based Access Control Model RFC 2575 [RFC2575] is recommended.
It is then a customer/user responsibility to ensure that the SNMP entity giving access to an instance of this MIB, is properly configured to give access to the objects only to those principals (users) that have legitimate rights to indeed GET or SET (change/create/delete) them.
